Here is how I think it should be implemented:
1) rhythmbox should use GApplication to implement a few GAction like play.
2) rhythmbox should install a .service file to be dbus-activatable
3) rhythmbox should install a org.gnome.Rhythmbox.desktop file that tells the
actions it implements. See
Yeah, this is impossible in the current spec. It's definitely not a
Papercut: while you can start rhythmbox-client headless, there's no way
for media players to specify the command for their headless mode in the
desktop file.

Xavier, I very much agree. We just need one additional thing in .desktop
files: Implements.
Then we could have Implements=org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer, which entails
having the actions you're suggestions (don't even need to be GActions,
org.freedesktop.Application has an ActivateAction as well).
This still happens more than one year later with Rhythmbox. A quick
glance at the manpage of rhythmbox-client suggests, that the necessary
behaviour could be possible with it.
If the maintainer(s) of indicator-sound agree, this could specify for a
Papercut.

Good thinking, Dylan.
I agree it would be more consistent if the player could start playing
without its window opening in this situation.
I guess that would require introducing, and evangelizing, some new API
(or even something as simple as a standard command-line option?) for a
player to start
Hi Dylan,
Thats a valid point but the issue here is more todo with that fact that I
literally fake a service like effect by starting the player and then once the
player is up and going I send it a play command. Therefore I have no way to
when initialising the player tell it to begin in a
